Abstract
The present disclosure provides a method of preparing a silver alloy composite nanomaterial. The preparation method comprises forming a silver alloy comprising at least one of copper, zinc, magnesium, aluminum and titanium into a composite metal rod; evaporating the silver alloy of the composite metal rod, resulting in a gaseous alloy; rapidly cooling the gaseous alloy so as to condense the silver alloy into a solid state; and collecting the cooled powder so as to obtain the silver alloy composite nanomaterial.
Claims20
A method of preparing a silver alloy composite nanomaterial, comprising:
- preparing a composite metal rod by combining a silver with one or more of a copper, a zinc, a magnesium, an aluminum, or a titanium;
- evaporating a tip of the composite metal rod by using the composite metal rod as an anode conductor of a direct current power supply and forming an electric arc between the anode conductor and a cathode, yielding a gaseous alloy;
- and
- cooling the gaseous alloy by subjecting the gaseous alloy to air flowing at 0.5 to 1.5 times the speed of sound, causing the gaseous alloy to condense and yielding a cooled silver alloy composite nanomaterial.
An article of clothing comprising a fabric permeated with a silver alloy composite nanomaterial.
An article of manufacture having at least one surface coated with a silver alloy composite nanomaterial, wherein the silver alloy composite nanomaterial comprises an alloy of silver and at least one of a copper oxide, a zinc oxide, a magnesium oxide, an aluminum oxide, or a titanium oxide, and further wherein the silver comprises 40% to 80% of the by weight of the silver alloy composite nanomaterial.
